We've had plenty of Home Alone publications earlier this year. Why not the Home Alone 1 and 2 GB? I'm also interested in Antz Racing for GBC. I don't know if it would make the most interesting TAS, though. It's a fairly straightforward racing game, and the only noteworthy power-ups just increase your speed.

Dangan GB2, a GBC homebrew bullet hell boss rush. Sequel to Dangan GB, just 6 bullet hell bosses. I don't believe there is a difference between the 2 characters, other than the special weapon. One had a screen clear bomb, other has a 3 second shield. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PbLBgXP-Dg Game freely available here, https://snorpung.itch.io/dangan-gb2

Pitfall: Beyond the Jungle, platformer. Has committed jumps and insta death fall damage. The run is mostly managing damage, you can only take a few hits, and making the earliest cycles you can. Vines and steam/fire are on global timers from the level starting, and at least for the vines I think I'm making the earliest cycles, but maybe there's another one somewhere.

Santa Claus Junior, Christmas themed platformer. There is a TAS for the GBA version, but that is a different game, this one is a good bit shorter. You just need to make to it the exit of every level. You get an extra life and instant health refill for collecting 25 candy canes, so I routed to get it after a bunch of intentional damage. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN7pM-X9_yw

Great looking game, I'll definitely TAS it for next year Christmas!
Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math. My things: YouTube, GitHub, Pastebin, Twitter

Super Hunchback on GB, a regular platformer. You only need to reach the bell at the end of the screen. There are some things I don't understand about the game, seemingly certain projectiles are on some kind of full game global timer? They varied run to run so I'm not sure if it's global or not. There are also warp zones that appear, I'm forced to enter one at the start of Stage 5, but I think you can somehow manipulate them to not be in your way. Collecting the letters EXTRA will give you another life, idk if taking deaths to make the score countdown lower is potentially faster. The skip on the final area of Stage 6, that I use a cannonball for, can be done by just making jumps, but they were a little too tight for me. The platform cycle at the start of the last area of Stage 7 can be made by not slowing down, but not knowing where the fireballs were going to be made it risky to go for. Nice set of maps for every level - http://radiopoultry.com/oldgames/maps/SuperHunchback/ RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvdlLiz_J1A

Tarzan for GBC might be a good one to TAS, its a simple platformer, there's a double jump glitch you can get if you jump again after jumping once and still being near the florr, and holding L+R plus other buttons glitch the sprites, maybe something can come from that.

Looked into Super Hunchback, the variations between runs probably come from jumping into the bells at the end of each level, the level transistions start earlier if hunchback lands earlier, which depend on the jump you do to grab the bell.

Slime Trials, a really short game from the recent 2023 GB Compo. Platformer with grappling/swinging. You can get some really fast momentum sometimes off really short swings. I also managed to barely clip into a wall, not sure it's useful. Game - https://canight.itch.io/slime-trials RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuHoDi0_JM

Game & Watch Galley 3 Ever since seeing Darkman's TAS of Game & Watch Gallery 2, I've wanted to see one of Game & Watch Galley 3 as that was the game I grew up with. Bugs Bunny in Crazy Castle 4 Similarly, Alyosha and Brandon's TAS of Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3 renewed my interest in seeing Bugs Bunny in Crazy Castle 4, as that was also the one I grew up with. I was working on one for a while but have since stopped completely. While I don't ever plan on returning to it, I thought I should link my progress should anyone want to pick up where I left off. I managed to TAS all the way to world 4-5: Download the WIP here

AJ XI: Cosmic Climb, a new Nike licensed GBC game, made by the same people that did the recent McDonalds Grimace game. A short little platformer, just make it to the top. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8CcN3StvbI

Escape 2042, a fairly short homebrew platformer. Have to go around and collect 4 keycards to make progress and get out. Beating the camera cycles are important. I believe you can "skip" camera cycles by pausing while they would be changing directions. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8upH_GkygWQ

Bubble Frog, a short, cute little "platformer". Float around and get to the exit in each level. A few levels you can make early cycles. I take a death in one stage to slightly change the cycle and save a small amount of time, not sure if deaths are useful elsewhere.

Chumbles Bumbles, very short platformer, only 6 stages. I opted to collect all the gems since it was so short. There is a big shortcut on stage 2 if you are just running thru without getting them. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GDiB3yF-GI ROM - https://timbojay.itch.io/chumbles-bumbles

Porklike, a great little roguelike. Goal is to clear Floor 9. I imagine it would be tough to optimize despite being so short. Walls can be broken with Smash item and cracked walls can be broken with damaging items, so shortcuts can be created. And key doors can be skipped over using Jump.

A handful more GBC games, bootlegs and homebrew. Wai Xing Tan Xian Zhi Xing Qiu Da Zhan, a short Star Wars skinned Chinese bootleg. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNzLlh1lh-4 Metal Slug, a great bootleg port. This run is on a hack of the original bootleg, Terrifying 911, that removes the bizarre and tasteless 9/11 FMVs/cutscenes from the game. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW9a4j2cVQ4 Ghost of the Arcade, mostly a collection of mini games, need to get the high score on each game to escape the arcade. So just get the score and exit the games. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8ny710Sp4Q ROM - https://playinstinct.itch.io/ghost-of-the-arcade Mission: Earth, a linear platformer.

Two short, single screen collector homebrews. Super Jacked Up Tomato Face Johnson, collect the coins on each screen. You can trigger the spikes to rise without getting hit by hitting jump again in the air over the spike hitbox, I use this several times in the run to save jumps. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxt3jHT2QHk ROM - https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/super-jacked-up-tomato-face-johnson Shurikix, destroy the diamonds on each screen. You can shoot thru some solid platforms, I do it a few times. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFmVHE9xPCI ROM - https://lothairelimon.itch.io/shurikix

Super Dassalo Land is a platforming game starring a stand-up comedian dude. He can slide like Mega Man and use a microphone whip similar to Castlevania. A TAS of this game would be interesting, I think. Game link: https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/super-dassalo-land Playthrough: Link to video
